TITLE CHARGE: Brendan Rodgers is refusing to label Liverpool as title contenders [GETTY]

The Reds enjoyed a perfect start when Spurs defender Younes Kaboul turned the ball into his own net inside the opening two minutes.

Strikes from Luis Suarez, Phillipe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson completed the win to take Liverpool two points clear of second-placed Chelsea at the top.

But Rodgers insisted winning the title is not in his thoughts and wants the focus to remain on Liverpool's next match despite many Reds supporters chanting 'We are going to win the league!' during the victory over Spurs.

"The dream is for our supporters, they obviously want to win the title, it's been a long time here," the Liverpool boss said.

"But for us it's not my thinking, I've got to be honest.

"My thinking is to prepare the team and perform well and if we do that we know we can continue to win games and then we'll see where it takes us."
